The Colorado Rockies scratch All-Star designated hitter Hunter Goodman from Tuesday night’s game against the Los Angeles Dodgers because of a left-hand contusion. Goodman was originally listed as the designated hitter for the matchup. The injury occurred during the series opener on Monday night, when the Rockies lost to the Dodgers 8–7 in 11 innings. After the team’s medical evaluation, Goodman is removed from the lineup for the second game of the series. The move changes Colorado’s offensive lineup and eliminates Goodman’s planned role as a DH for the contest. The reports do not specify a return timeline, only that he is unable to play due to the contusion. The Rockies and Dodgers continue the series following the lineup adjustment.
